After prolonged staring in the mirror, I stared at the split worlds between my reflection and myself. Over a period of time, we managed to connect to one another and form a sense of self-love over how I've viewed myself and what I've become. Being Hispanic and bisexual is a very lonely world and requires a lot of searching to find a safe place. It's difficult to try and change the way I've perceived myself, and yet, shifting the angle of my gaze helped immensely.
Después de mirarme al espejo durante mucho tiempo, observé los mundos divididos entre mi reflejo y yo. Con el paso del tiempo, conseguimos conectar el uno con el otro y formar un sentimiento de amor propio sobre cómo me he visto a mí mismo y en qué me he convertido. Ser hispano y bisexual es un mundo muy solitario y requiere mucha búsqueda para encontrar un lugar seguro. Es difícil tratar de cambiar la formaen que me he percibido a mí mismo(a), y, sin embargo, cambiar el ángulo de mi perspectiva me ayudó mucho.
